Rear -shaped ligament plastic

During the initial consultation, an orthopedic traumatologist conducts a clinical examination of the patient and special tests, evaluates the volume of movements. Complex examinations are prescribed, which include instrumental diagnostics (radiography, MRI). Depending on the severity of the gap, adequate treatment tactics are selected. If necessary, the operation begins preparation for planned arthroscopy. The patient is directed to a comprehensive preoperative examination, laboratory diagnostics. A few days before the planned date of the operation based on the results of the examination, the patient meets an anesthesiologist for the individual selection of anesthesia.

Hospitalization takes place in the morning on the day of the operation. The last intake of water, solid food should be at least 6 hours before planned surgery. As a rule, laryrgeal mask anesthesia is used to perform the operation on the meniscus. Arthroscopy of the cross -shaped ligament in Olympus clinics is carried out in a modern operating room, which is equipped according to world standards with a laminar air flow. The work uses high -tech equipment, which allows you to carry out minimally invasive interventions on various joints without using large incisions of soft tissues. High -quality optics gives a clear enlarged picture of the operation site to ensure maximum accuracy of work. The operation lasts an average of 60 to 90 minutes. A camera with instruments is introduced through the micro -ropens in the joint, with the help of which the condition of the internal structures of the joint is evaluated. Then, a transplant from the patient’s own tendons is installed in place of the damaged ligament, which is securely fixed. After surgery, the patient is transferred to the wake -up ward, where medical personnel are watching his condition. Arthroscopic techniques significantly reduce the time of inpatient stay. The patient is discharged on the second day after the operation.

After the operation, the patient receives his appointments and recommendations of the attending physician, a rehabilitologist. Recovery after planned arthroscopy to sports loads is 6-7 months. The first 3 weeks, the knee joint is fixed in a special direct orthosis with a rear support of the lower leg. It is necessary to move with crutches without relying on the operated leg. Then, therapeutic gymnastics, physiotherapeutic procedures (magnetotherapy, UVT, kinesiotherapy, massage) with a gradual increase in the load on the knee are without fail. After about 4 weeks, a gradual transition from crutches to a cane is held, and then to walk without support. At this stage, a rigid latch is replaced by a semi -rigid orthosis.
